Porsche 550 Spyder

I've had this 1/64 Maitso 550 for ages looking for a set of wheels to replace those huge mudders that came on it. Don't get me wrong in the proper application they look great. But not on that 550. Oddly I got a Kids Connection 5 pk of Maisto convertables that had a set of wheels that set well under the car. I cut the rear deck off and molded another pan motor out of Magnum Steel. I really wish I could find a good likeness of a VW motor in 1/64 diecast but til I do I'll just have to plug along with what I got. I also opened up the vent grate on the rear deck by under cutting the deck from the inside. When I got it thin enough I took a single edge razor blade and punched all the openings through leaving the grate work. It now sets right and I have some "Little Bastard" decals ready to print once I get enough to fill up a clear sheet. FYI for those that may not know the #130 "Little Bastard" was the car James Dean was killed in. If you don't know who James Dean was your too young to be reading words like "Little Bastard."

Great job! Are you gonna make up the LB decals for it?

Yeah. I'm laying out a 5x7 clear sheet but I only have several images on it at present. At the rate I'm filling the sheet up it could be months before I get enough on it to make it worth while to go to print.
